Then leave it in an email. Or take it to instant messenger. Those are two far more appropriate forums for a conversation between two or three people. When you have something to post that others might be interested in, post away.

Ok, well welcome to Coffeegeek.com all of you new posters. This is the espresso machine and grinder forum. Revelent posts include those of information based on espresso equipment and grinders. This includes modifications and the banter between those who are participating in these modofications. To ask us to take it private would keep those who are interested out of the loop. Information swap is what this forum is all about. So please sit back relax and enjoy the ride.............

Man, I just had this big long comment written about how it wasn't so much the 'chit-chat' aspect that sprung me but that I was most concerned about the tone of DOMs comment and how I didn't feel it was up to community standards, out of line, angry, hurtful... etc. etc. etc. blah, blah, blah

And now I see that I apparently missed the sarcasm...went completely by me...oops.

Bebs, you could have saved me a half hour of typing and editing if you had posted sooner. Oh well. At least I DIDN'T hit the post button on my page-long tirade.-b

Nothing irritates me more than someone giving me (or anyone else for that matter) advice on where and when to talk about things and when the conversation should be considered "over".

The parallel i draw is this: A bunch of us are hanging out by the street looking at dank's POS teal 4cyl mustang. We're talking about the car, joking around, etc., then someone walks up and says "hey, conversation's over--you want to continue talking, do it inside your house" It's rude and egocentric. You don't like the fact that we are making fun of dank's car, don't listen--we're not bothering anyone else. Either join the conversation or scram, but don't tell a group of adults what they should/should not be doing/taking about, etc.
